Re: Sleep Apnea and Low T for Men

Re: Suggestion for Quatro FX FFM Users

The way I get the fx from leaking is to lower the top half of the head gear to the back of my head just under the base of the skull. The head gear design on the fx is the reason it leaks when you tighten the top all out fits is pull the mask up your face

Re: Went to sleep Dr today

I had nasal surgery a year ago and have been riding since. As for pillows I have looked for years and the only thing I like is a feather pillow. Not good for allergies

Re: Went to sleep Dr today

The difference in price between the S9 Escape and the S9 Elite appears to be approximately $50. The titration study will cost $2,000-$5,000. Some of this is absolutely the insurance companies' fault -- they can't seem to figure out how to spend a few tens-of-dollars in order to save thousands-of-do...

Re: Continued Sinus Issues - Tried Auto on my S9 Last Night

The res med tech is partially correct. While yes the machine keeps the humidity level at 80% at all Temps, the higher temperature will have a higher level of total moisture.

Re: Continued Sinus Issues - Tried Auto on my S9 Last Night

Your graphs are boring...that's good. I wonder if there is more room for reduction in pressures (might help the ear issues) and still have a really low AHI. Your sinus/nasal issues...man that's a tough one because I suspect it is related to whatever humidity you are getting but I don't know which w...
